Magnolia

[Ash]

I recently picked up the DVD of Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia.
I hadn't watched it in years and it just blew me away.   

If you've never seen it, let me just say that it's all about coincidences that surround a group of people in Los Angeles.

Check out the clip below...it's the intro to Magnolia and one of the coolest movie introductions ever made.

Have you seen Magnolia?
If so, what did you think?

Yeah, I don't know why this movie is the butt of so many jokes.  I thought it was really well done.  Great cinematography, story and acting (which was a little over the top or overly sappy at times).
